Doan named artist-in-residence

William Doan, professor in the Penn State School of Theatre, will serve as an artist-in-residence in the College of Nursing for the 2018–19 academic year in an effort to infuse artistic representation into the science of nursing.

The unique collaboration between the College of Nursing and the College of Arts and Architecture builds upon Doan’s creation of performance art that explores palliative care — a specialized treatment that provides relief from the symptoms and stress of serious illness and trauma for individuals and their families.
